Norway Luxury Travel: A Sample Itinerary

Set in the heart of the fishing village of Henningsvær on Norway’s Lofoten Islands, Henningsvær Bryggehotell is a new waterfront complex made up of eight modern buildings linked by a board-walk pier, seamlessly marrying the region’s maritime heritage with contemporary design. With 39 rooms, including 11 suites and 14 junior suites, many offering panoramic views of the sea and the surrounding mountains, the hotel creates an elevated base from which to explore Arctic nature.

The on-site Vind Brasserie showcases northern Norwegian ingredients like freshly caught fish and shellfish with a modern Nordic touch, served in dining spaces overlooking the harbour. Daytime might begin with coffee on the pier; evening could bring the northern lights dancing above the fjord, and the truly exceptional location of this hotel brings its stand-out adventure opportunities.

Transforming a 1930s landmark into a modern luxury destination, Sommerro stands in Oslo’s stylish Frogner district just steps from the Royal Palace. Housed in the former headquarters of the city’s electricity company, the building now offers 231 rooms and suites (including 56 branded residences) across an Art Deco-inspired restoration.

The interiors lean into oak parquet floors, bespoke furnishings, and original artworks by Norwegian artist Per Krohg, blending old-world elegance with contemporary comfort. Guests can dine across multiple venues: Nordic-Japanese rooftop restaurant TAK Oslo, Izakaya Bar & Terrace with city-wide views, and Ekspedisjonshallen, the hotel’s grand all-day dining hall. Meanwhile, wellness lives on the roof: Sommerro offers Oslo’s first year-round rooftop pool and sauna, plus a vast underground spa housed in the restored Vestkantbadet bathhouse.

Once warehouses for local fisheries, Brosundet forms part of the historical heritage of the picturesque town of Ålesund. It's more than a stay, more than great food and carefully selected art. It's friendliness, calm, comfort, and a sense of finding a new home.

A destination where history meets urban curated luxury. The suites and rooms all have their own personal touch and no two rooms are the same. The soft lightening against the mellow richness of the wooden details, creates a space of comfort and calmness. Guests often find their own favourite, with views of the iconic Brosundet channel at one end and the colorful Art Noveau architecture on the other.

Here in the Sunnmøre Alps, between the northwestern mountains of Norway, the charming Union Øye Hotel unveils its splendour. Nestled amidst the picturesque backdrop of the small hamlet of Øye, where the Norangsfjord reaches its inland home, this wonderful residence preserves its historical charm while living in harmony with its pristine surroundings.

Designed with warm Scandinavian decor, the 15 cosy rooms and 22 suites open up to panoramic views that will delight lovers of wide open spaces, for whom stays will be spent exploring unique landscapes and venturing deep into nature.

This grand establishment of dark-timbered buildings, typical of traditional Norwegian architecture, is set upon a hill overlooking the fjord of the same name. Its log walls shelter warmly welcoming interiors: Comfortable furniture, antiques, and objets d’art create a chic, rustic ambiance in the living rooms and library, as well as in the rooms and suites blessed with spectacular views of the fjord and surrounding forest.

Whatever the season, Storfjord Hotel offers an authentically Norwegian stay: skiing in wintertime, cruises and fishing trips on the fjord, kayaking adventures, scenic hikes, bike rides, Nordic wildlife observation, and, of course, relaxing moments at the wellness center with panoramic views of the landscape. Fine dining, too, is part of the experience, ensured by Nils Flatmark, one of the most celebrated Scandinavian chefs, who respects every ingredient as he prepares inspired, regional cuisine for Storfjord Hotel’s guests.
